Does Springbok fold for transport?

Yes. The backrest folds down onto the seat, and the rear wheels come off with a quick-release axle. This keeps each piece lighter and easier to lift than a typical X-brace folding chair. Because the frame has fewer moving parts, it doesn't flex during propulsion, so more of the user's energy goes into forward motion. The frame is also stronger and lasts longer than an X-brace design.

What accessories are available for Springbok?

Springbok can be configured with a wide range of accessories: armrests, anti-tippers, footrest riser, headrest, lateral supports, a customizable pressure relief cushion with abduction saddle, activity tray, short leg rest, 2-point pelvic strap, and body harness.

Does Springbok come with a pressure relief cushion?

No, Springbok ships with the chair only. Participant Assistive Products offers comfort cushions and several pressure-relief cushions separately, which can be packed inside the shipping box on request.

Why Springbok?

Springbok is built for everyday mobility, indoors and out, without adding weight or bulk. The rigid aluminum frame weighs just 13 kg in the 350 mm size, light enough for drivers to lift across themselves when driving independently. And, naturally, easy to lift into a car trunk, yet it comes in six seat widths (250 to 500 mm) so it fits a wide range of users. The seat depth, backrest angle, and rear axle position all adjust to dial in the fit, and the backrest folds flat with quick-release rear wheels for compact transport.

Durability is built in, not bolted on. Every Springbok passes 400,000 cycles on the ISO 7176 double drum test and the ISWP Caster Test, which simulates the extra stress of rougher, less predictable terrain. The frame can last up to 10 years with maintenance, and spare parts, including standard bicycle-size wheel rims, are easy to source locally. Springbok is CE MDR and JIS registered, tested for a maximum user weight of 130 kg, and has over 150,000 units in use worldwide since 2018.

For distributors and NGOs, Springbok is the reliable, go-to chair for users who need everyday strength and comfort.

Frequently asked questions

Springbok is built for adults and isn't recommended for children, though it is available in a narrow 250 mm (10 inch) seat width. Chairs designed for children typically have smaller rear wheels and a lower seat height, which makes independent transfers easier for young users. Participant Assistive Products is developing a child-size version of the Springbok wheelchair. Contact our sales team if you'd like to be notified.
